Author's Note: Hello everyone! I can walk again!XD Anyways, here's another chapter so I hope ye enjoy. Please review xxx

Ruby led me to the kitchen where a rather large, round woman stood by the table, setting dirty looking plates neatly in front of each seat. She was bald and was quite pale. She wore a sleeveless dress and a dirty apron, specks of blood stained on it. 'Mama,' Ruby called, dragging me along with her. 'She…woke up.'

Ruby's mother turned around and stared at me for a while. She had no eyebrows or eyelashes; she had a few small warts on her face but other than that and her obesity, she looked normal. 'Wha' yer name dear?' she asked, her blue eyes going slightly soft.

'…Niamh…' I said reluctantly, staring down at the cracks of the floorboards.

'Niamh…?' she smiled. 'Pretty name. Ya hungry…? Got food fer ya.' She stopped smiling and Ruby jumped back away from me when I threw up. Ruby's mother tried to grab my shoulders but I swatted them away, screaming and sobbing as I scurried as far away from them as possible, my back pressing up against the wall. Both Ruby and her mother looked genuinely worried.

'Wha' wrong wit Neeve Mama?' Ruby asked, her small voice raising in panic.

Her mother shook her head. 'Dunno love…' She followed my gaze to the box near the sink. It was stained in blood and I recognised the skull tattoo on the dark, butchered flesh of the arm. It was Mike's…

There was also half a ribcage and two severed hands, the white stumps sticking out, they belonged to John…

Who were these guys…?

What were they…?

'What the fuck is this?' I shrieked, my world dissolving away right before my own eyes. 'Is this some sick joke?'

Ruby's eyes were downcast as she patted my back gently with her deformed hand. Her mother took pity on me as well, laying her hand on my shaking shoulder gently. She was silent for a moment before she spoke. 'Ya won't be eatin' tha' dear…' she tried to reassure me. 'We got human food fer ya-'

'IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK I'M CRYING ABOUT!' I screamed, startling both of them. 'You just butchered my friends and you're trying to console me by giving me food? What kind of fucked up bullshit is this?'

'Calm down,' Ruby pleaded, looking at her mother for help.

She nodded at her daughter and turned to me. 'Ya gonna stay wit us fer a while,' she said slowly and calmly. 'Ya gonna stay 'ere wit Ruby an' me. Mah name's Moon, but ya can call me Big Mama. Ya gonna be safe 'ere wit tha' two of us…dun' wan' ya to run into Leezar…'

I could feel Ruby stiffen as I looked up at Big Mama and frowned. 'Who the fuck is "Leezar"…?' I asked, staring at Big Mama with tear-filled eyes.

She sighed, 'His real name is Lizard. He mah eldest boy… Dun' want him to see ya dear…'

There was something both Big Mama and Ruby weren't telling me about this Lizard. Before I could ask any more questions Big Mama told Ruby to take me up to her room and put me in the spare bed. Ruby smiled and nodded, helping me up again and leading me upstairs.

Before we left the kitchen, I could hear Big Mama talk under her breath, 'Betta tell Jupe to make Leezar to stay away from 'ere…'

The steps creaked from the weight of the two of us as we went up. My thoughts were too occupied with the images of both John and Mikes' severed limbs to even notice where Ruby was taking me. It was until she spoke to me that I noticed where we were.

'Tha's yer bed…there,' Ruby smiled pointing at the bed that we were proceeding towards. When we sat down the springs in the mattress creaked. I looked around the room and noticed Ruby's bed on the other side of room. There was dirty floral wallpaper, some peeling off from the walls. A dresser was standing in another side of the room, the mirror covered by a long ragged piece of cloth.

I continued to heave heavy sobs as Ruby looked at me sympathetically. 'Neeve…'m sorry…'

I nodded glumly, unable to answer. Ruby shifted uneasily next to me. 'I…gonna get sum water fer ya…' She got up left the room, closing the door behind her.

I lay down fully on the bed, clutching the dirty pillow, my mind racing. My friends were dead. Most likely Dave and Trish were dead too. I was being held captive by a family of…mutants. Let's not mention the fact that they were cannibals…

Which brought up another disturbing thought of both John and Mike ending up as mutant excrement not too soon from now…

There was also this Lizard character that I feared and I haven't even met the guy yet. Also, what kind of a name was "Lizard"…?

I didn't ponder too long on the subject…I was too exhausted from screaming and crying to even keep my eyelids open. Not long after lying down I fell asleep inside a house full of cannibals…
